Everyday Backpack 20L
I'd recommend it without hesitation.
I'm using this right now and I like it a lot. It could still be better.
Why it's here
Revised Jul 2026The magnetic latch is the thing everyone notices first — it expands through four positions without any buckle adjustment, so the bag is genuinely small when empty and genuinely large when it needs to be.
Side access on both flanks is the feature I use constantly. Swing it round one shoulder, unzip, laptop out. On a train or in a queue that's the difference between using the bag and fighting it.
It's a two because it's heavy before you put anything in it, and because the dividers are clearly designed for camera gear. If you're not carrying a camera you're paying for structure you don't need.

What I'd change
3- Heavy when empty

I like this one, but I don't think it's the end of the road. If you've used something that beats it, send it over.
